January 6
- KOP checklist - done by Luke and Sam
- project management
Jan. 7
- break into teams (design, organizing room, rules, manuals/reference (print out and collate), control system/programmer)
Design - work on overall design of robot, start getting into detail
Organizers - work on robot room, get it ready for action X
Rules - meditate upon the rules, highlight, take notes X
Manuals/reference - collate and print out the entire manual, organize copies nicely into binders X
Control System/Programmer(s) - update the firmware/software, get BUA robot back in shape and ready to send back
Jan. 8
- decide on final design, input from entire team
- rules people need to present
- finish updating control system
- read and watch assembly videos
- programmers - read through WB Lib documentation
- part experts (joysticks, accelerometer, gyroscopes, motors, pneumatics, ...)
- T-shirt group meets
Jan. 9
- decide on final design, input from entire team
- figure out smaller details, start planning to prototype/mockup
- rules people need to present
- finish updating control system - nearly finished
- programmers - read through WB Lib documentation
- read and watch assembly videos - get video working
- T-shirt group - finalize design, color, sleeve length, all that, present to team
- keep working on kit-bot
by Jan 9 -
- basic design with smaller details
- groups
- parts - start to order
- tools - figure out what we need and start to order
- put together control system and update firmware
Jan 15th -
